A Ramona man is being held on $200,000 bond after his arrest for the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl.

Kevin James Chapman, 21, was arrested Saturday on charges of rape by instrumentation, sexual assault and lewd proposal to minor child stemming from an incident alleged to have occurred on Oct. 14.

According to the case’s probable cause affidavit, it is alleged that the incident took place in a residence in the 4800 block of Southeast Melody Lane. Reportedly, the incident came to light when the alleged victim’s father walked in on the two.

Reports indicate the 12-year-old told police that she had talked to Chapman on the Internet and that she invited him to come over "after her parents went to bed." She said that she told Chapman that she was "only 12 years old" and that upon hearing her age, he "didn’t want to come to her house" but that "she talked him into coming," the affidavit states.
